45 yr old female patient came to my office due to low back pain (sciatica radiating down her right leg along the side) for 2 months.
She also suffers from insomnia, anxiety, stress disorder. Patient is about 140 LB/ 5'5". her hands and feet are normally cold and she urinates every two hours. She also wakes up at night at least once to urinate. when she is under stress/anxiety, she feels her heart is beating fast.
She has difficulty falling asleep and wakes up a few times every night. Often she has vivid dreams.
Her low back pain is not due to any accident and radiating pain is along the side-Gall Bladder channel. Upon palpation right hip muscles were painful.
Treatment: GB 41 + (left side)
after 15 min of acupuncture, patient could raise her leg higher and walk without pain.
massage therapy was added after acupuncture treatment. She felt almost no pain afterwards.
often anxiety and stress can cause low back pain.
